Thanks for this suggestion - I want to note that this
will only work ONCE per shell session. That's because
the string `cat /var/run/spamd.pid` incorporates the
process id number that exists as of the time the shell
is started into the alias.  If you run this command, a
new process is started -- but the alias is not
updated.

Obviously, if you are efficient, you shouldn't have to
run the command repeatedly - you should only run it
after completing any changes to .cf files.  

However, I'm not efficient. :(  
I make changes, then think about it, and make even
more changes.
